Replacement Bride for the Alpha of the North - Chapter 188

Chapter 188: THEY ARE ALL MONSTERS
“Is this the smell?” Zander approached Dawn, as he scrunched his nose when he smelled this rancid smell from the direction of the palace.

They were right outside of the palace, hiding behind the building in the city, ready to charge forward once Dawn said it was clear for them to attack.

“Yes.” Dawn smiled sweetly, but one shouldn’t mistake her angelic face, since she was very wicked.

It was Dawn’s idea to put the poison on Aurel’s body. They were not sure whether she did that purely because she wanted to help, or it was the extent of her grudge toward the healer, either way, her idea was brilliant and it helped them tremendously.

After Zander figured out that Holy Kingdom and the dragon sect had joined hand, Zenith made a conclusion that they wanted Aurel’s body for some reason, since elder Isaac and Elder Rio were very adamant for Zander to give the body back to them.

They tried to look for something important or valuable on Aurel’s body, but they couldn’t find it, even Pyro and Zaya had tried, but the result was nil.

Therefore, Dawn came with this idea to put the poison in Aurel’s body. Scorned woman was the most terrifying one…

Basically, Dawn’s poison had the same effect like the poison that they had given to the shifter, but Dawn’s poison rendered the magic users were unable to use their magic, including black magic.

“Here, put this under your tongue,” Dawn said, she approached Zaya and Pyro. “You will not be affected by the poison.”

Dawn gave them a small wood to be put under their tongue.

Pyro took it and did what Dawn told him to do, while Zaya smiled at her. “I am glad that you are on our side in this lifetime, It’s pretty scary to fight you though.”

Dawn smiled at her. “I am glad that I have been given a second chance.”

With that, the warriors shifted into their beast form again and charged toward the palace gates. Zenith led the warriors, while Dawn, Zaya and Pyro fell behind.

They watched as the royal warriors climbed the tall walls with ease, or how Zander and Zenith leaped over the tall gates as if it was nothing.

Meanwhile, Pyro and Zaya took down the shield that surrounded the palace with ease, because their enemy had been weakened by the poison.

It was Zander’s idea to use the battle hunt as a way to lure their enemy to attack them and gather them in one place before they annihilated those black magic users.

With this, Zander didn’t need to go out to look for them all. They would be the one, who looked for him. The throne was a bait that was tempting enough to make Vemion to come out.

Pyro then created a portal to bring Zander to enter the palace. Because of how outlandish the king could be, nobody questioned why he didn’t shift into his beast.

“Should we come inside too?” Zaya asked, she tilted her head when she witnessed the shifters went berserk. She was not worried about her brother, because she knew they would be fine.

Dawn shifted into her human form again, she had done her part here and was sure everything went as they had planned.

“I think there is something else that you need to do now, Zaya.” Dawn grinned at her.

The two of them were standing in front of the palace gates. The people were hiding inside their houses because of the earlier attack and the streets were empty, but Dawn could smell these scents in the air.

“What?” Zaya was confused, but when she followed the direction that Dawn pointed out, she understood what she was talking about.

“That’s your task to explain to them… I think.”

Zaya raised her brows at Dawn, who smiled innocently at her, but instead of feeling guilty, Dawn waved her hand and then went ahead to enter the palace.

Meanwhile, Zaya had to face king Rowan. He got off from his war horse and walked toward her. His expression was unreadable.

“I thought we were having fun in Goffa mountain, princess.” King Rowan tilted his head to glance at the state of the palace. “I don’t have any idea that you guys hunted different monsters here. Do they count as monster?”

King Rowan flashed her his charming smile, but it didn’t impress Zaya at all.

“Yes, king Rowan,” Zaya replied sweetly. “They do count. Some monster looks different from the other, but they are monster all the same.”

King Rowan looked at her intently, which made Zaya avoid his heated gaze on her face. She didn’t like this man staring at her like that, but she couldn’t help with the blush that crept on her cheeks and neck. She felt awkward.

“You bring the dagger that I gave to you, I see.” King Rowan nodded at the dagger that strapped around her slim waist.

“Thank you for the gift, I like it.” Zaya glanced at her and then walked away, but the king easily caught up with her.

“King Rowan, I think you should continue to have your fun in the mountain with the monsters. Let us handled the matter here. I will make sure that once you returned the place will be less messy.”

“No. I think I want to hunt monster here too,” king Rowan replied. He stared at the auburn girl with amusement. Zaya was literally running at this point to avoid him, but there was no way this little woman could outrun him. “You said it yourself, right? They are monsters all the same.”

The sight of the two of them was actually rather funny, because it was obvious that Zaya didn’t want to talk to the king.

“Do you think Zaya will give up?” Darius asked Dawn, who was standing next to him.

“Nah, the king needs to show more effort.” Dawn then frowned at the gamma. “What are you doing here?”
